Glad to see the video. Obviously, looking at it after the fact gives great insight. Our original plan was to take over late and go over the top. I think that could have worked had I checked to ensure the team was in tow... Instead, I ended up giving Ryan a breather so he could take one last pull. I should have let Ryan sit on the front and launched out of the chicane but again, a bit of a fumble on our part for not checking I had the team lined on my wheel. Always fun racing against the TMB Purple bros
Ryan is one of the smoothest riders out there, what a beast. He knew that taking the lead would set up Sean if no one else was going to do it, so he stepped up and took control.
3 things: 1. I would hate to race on wet roads, not only because of the increased risk of going down, but because I hate having water and grime spat in my face all day from the wheel in front of me. 2. I hope someone bought that Terun rider a cup of coffee after the race for the brief leadout of his opposition (not sure what he was thinking there getting on the front). 3. Congrats on the win
Congrats to Sean and the team for showing how it is done! The kid is a beast! Also way to go Sean for the mega pro move of the several courteously wipes of the camera while racing.😁
Great videos! I wrote you many times asking for some advice and also emailed you. But this time I have a little advice for you. Please, use a teammate after your sprinter guy. I'm a sprinter, and when I have a teammate behind me, this strategy avoids all the fights with the other riders who wanna jump on my train. enjoy the ride!
Very good understanding of the race. I expect that he'll do good as he is. I'll wait for jeff to tackle this race again hahaha. This channel is entertaining me!
@@SpicyTrifongo I think it may be both. I mention it because, while I don’t know Shaun’s exact height, he looks generally a lot like my heigh and I’ve never been able to reach those speed despite being able to reach slightly higher powers. Now, while I’m pretty certain I’m significantly heavier then Shaun I’ve also never had a 20 something mph lead-out so thats probably a contribution too.
@@BeyReaper weight has almost no effect on sustained flatland speed. Weight will hamper acceleration and make hills more difficult. If anything being heavier with the same drag coeffecient would mean you have more KE to be dissipated by drag, meaning you'd hold the speed longer. Also for all we know he has a huge tail wind. I've never had a leadout like that but I know when I'm solo to hit and hold 32-35mph over a flat quarter mile I need to peak at around 900-1000w and average 600-750w. I'm on a 2022 Pinarello Paris so a very good bike but probably not quite as good as Shaun's especially if he's got carbon rims and tubeless or latex.
I think Travis from Terun figures this guy (Ryan) has been on the front for way too long (1800m) to follow his long dash for glory...but Ryan's like, _"Thanks for the (brief) pull, dude."_
The chili pepper crit! Every region has several hotdog crits. Not many have a chili pepper crit. Have you made a vid summarizing your return to fitness post crash? I'd be curious to know when you felt like your fitness was 100% back...vs when you felt like your 'race legs' were 100% back. Just like the do's and don'ts of fitness recovery.
Is Ryan rolling on 30mm tires? Also, is that the same Giant frame Jeff is rocking? It's a pretty dope looking murdered out whip - would love to get some deets on Ryan's set up. Looks like shallower rims than the rest of y'all too, sheesh
How do you actually “calculate” when to bring back the break away while in the race? Where does the data set come from? Does the team wear radio / com?
I hope the Terun riders gave their teammate an earful after that move. The MBs ledout fell apart and the one Terun riders helps them instead of helping his team. I would even go as far to say that the other teams lost this more than MBs won it.
Seven guys seems a bit unsporting but don't hate the players hate the game I guess. How many did legion bring to that crit they set up in sac? As long as mike's bikes stays with a fewer amount than that I won't get too mad.
What's going on with the illegally high socks? Always at least one bozo in these videos with compression socks up to their knee. What is this, a triathlon?
1.dude it is so different going 30mph for 5 laps, and going 20mph and then doing a sprint 2. Sean is definitely smaller guy than EJ; for Sean going 1000w can be faster then for EJ 1350w
The best part of the video is when (presumably) Sean's mother hugs him at the end. Such an underrated feeling to have the support of family.
Yes that is his mom
I love your videos, Patrick!!!!
@@karenstewart3047 you’re far too kind thanks!
Time to rewrite the channel motto - 'Slow is Smooth, Sean is Fast'. Absolute animal of a leadout by Ryan!

Ryan's pedalling looks so friggen smooth..slow cadence big power type of rider! Awesome to see.
I race with a teammate that has that pedaling structure. When he does that, you know people will be hurting.
Ryan and sean is a deadly combination
I'm guessing Ryan could have won it. But: Team Player.
Thanks for doing this Jeff and EJ. Very entertaining. Ryan is a beast and what a wheel to follow. Such a great team effort all around.

Well spoken young man. Thank you Mom and Dad!
Great Explanation as always, Jeff. Very cool to have a talk-through of what goes through their minds in a race like this! Fantastic riding, everyone.
Best part was Ryan celebrating as Sean was crossing the line👏👏👏
Had so much fun watching this. Ryan is an absolute monster!
More major boss work at Land Park. Well done, Team Mikes Bikes!

This course map always looks like a jalapeño. Ripping it up! 🔥
Respect to the Mikes rider on the made in America Caad 9. My favorite bike!
Really like to watch these with the great explanations of how the race is working and why.
I came for the race commentary but stayed for the #FordFlex.
Way to go Seany. Yes - that was his mom at the end of the video.
Awesome race Sean! Surprised to see a Winspace frame out there racing...
Man Ryan is nuts 😂
that specialized frame made me cry
Love the rim brakes still being repped and in the rain!
Great to see another Swift rider do well. Thanks Laura Charameda and Team Swift!
Everyone needs a Ryan
Those Roval wheels syncing with the camera is pretty neat
Can't help but notice that perfectly good Sram red groupset is still on your broken frame....
Ryan is a fucking diesel locomotive to take those last few laps by himself
"My heart rate is under control" *Heart rate spikes to a constant 194+*
That 148 guy is pushing big gears. 💪
such a sick video. you guys have got me frothing on crit racing
I keep watching these NorCal videos during indoor cycling at home. So good entertainment and knowledge :))))) Keep up the good work
Theres a lot more tacticts in US P12 races compared to the equivalent british E12 where there is usually a lack of teams.
Shaun must be incredibly light to be going 38 mph without breaking 1000 watts
It would be drag coefficient and not weight making you push hard at speed.
unless you're talking about his time accelerating to 38mph.

Loving the rim brake Bianchi!
great stuff guys!
That beautiful bike !! Dream bike for me there !! Take revenge!! Lol 🤣 love your work!!👊
1:28 can we get a UCI sock length check

Terun was working for Zac (their designated sprinter.)
Ryan's cadence is so scary
205 bpm in the sprint is so hard!

18:37 You need to be careful going on wet painted lines, they are super slippery. Great racing though.
Rim brakes in a wet crit ❤️
that BIANCHI though 🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥 ... and another one! 😅 Great content as always. Solid win 🎉
I need a Ryan in my life for every race
Watching this on my way to a race lol
Any reason why you didn't have a sweeper behind Sean (earlier), to keep some of the rival trains and sprinters from hounding him so much?
Ryan MVP, good racing Sean.
0:49
his bike already a cheat code
XR4 rim brake no way you can lose!!!
Is Ryan rolling on 30mm tires? Also, is that the same Giant frame Jeff is rocking? It's a pretty dope looking murdered out whip - would love to get some deets on Ryan's set up. Looks like shallower rims than the rest of y'all too, sheesh
yes to 30mm, and he's on the cervelo S5 with reserve wheels, believe they're 40/44
@@NorCalCycling appreciate the info and your content!
Funk sighting.
Maybe that guys plan was to get Ryan to sit in and then slow down a bit.
With 8 teammates you better not lose. 😂

Ryan is unreal
Ryan and Sean great job.
Big kudos to Ryan.
That’s my brother
Ryan is the beast!!
Ryan is soooo strong!
Great videos recently!
How do you actually “calculate” when to bring back the break away while in the race? Where does the data set come from? Does the team wear radio / com?
How does communication work during a race? Is there a team shot caller who sets the pace and maybe changes strategies during the race? Legit question.
Post up victory. Nice.
More SEAN CONTENT
Is that the Marcus Rashford celebration at the line?
🎉
SUPERRRRRMAAAAAAM
I hope the Terun riders gave their teammate an earful after that move. The MBs ledout fell apart and the one Terun riders helps them instead of helping his team. I would even go as far to say that the other teams lost this more than MBs won it.
How did you get a 10-36 on there with red RD? Is that the red XPLR RD?
he still has the group set on the bike
Max 210bpm club!
Seven guys seems a bit unsporting but don't hate the players hate the game I guess.
How many did legion bring to that crit they set up in sac? As long as mike's bikes stays with a fewer amount than that I won't get too mad.
I hear you might have Cam Piper now also?
Hmm, that would be like having another Ryan 😮
Strange race
Ryan and sean > jeff and ej
First and early today
That’s my best friend 🥰🥰🥰
What are Ryan’s handlebars? They’re wild looking
That's cervelo s5
What’s a dev Team?
Development team. Mike's Bikes has an elite and development team. Different jerseys.
Does ryan have a youtube chanel?
192 bpm is my threshold lmao had 204 bpm on my 20 min test
Small field. What happened to NORCAL Road Racing? Soft cyclists don't race or train in the cold and wet? Lol
S5 bike review?
The part about no practice is nuts. You guys could be even better if you worked together often.
Everyone can be beat
heart rate wtf
Great video norcal
Do you reply
👍
What's going on with the illegally high socks? Always at least one bozo in these videos with compression socks up to their knee. What is this, a triathlon?
Are they illegal? Not sure what the rules are for socks in the NCNCA
not even a 1000w sprint in this race ... it's so boring comparing to couch to crit
1.dude it is so different going 30mph for 5 laps, and going 20mph and then doing a sprint
2. Sean is definitely smaller guy than EJ; for Sean going 1000w can be faster then for EJ 1350w
He was around 3mph faster than EJ
NOPE! I don’t buy it at all! You don’t go because you are afraid since last time you crashed at that same race! Grow up!
blah blah
